What is ESBI Cashflow Quadrant?

Robert Kiyosaki introduced the Cashflow Quadrant (ESBI) in 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' and its sequels, categorizing income sources into four types:

  • E (Employee)You have a job. You trade time for money. If you stop working, income stops. Seeks security.
  • S (Self-Employed)You own a job. You still trade time for money, but work for yourself. If you stop, income stops. Seeks control.
  • B (Business Owner)You own a system. People work for you. System generates income even if you leave.
  • I (Investor)Money works for you. You don't need to work. Money makes money. Seeks freedom.

This test helps identify your current quadrant and offers advice to move to the right side (B and I).
